Alignment
Controls how the layout block sits on the page or spread.
Alignment tells the layout block where to sit inside the space left by the current padding.
Layout Controls Demo
Adjust only where the layout block sits inside the available space.
Alignment
What this changes
Alignment changes only where the layout block sits inside the current padding area.
Preview
Alignment moves the block inside the current padding area. Nothing crops or resizes the photos.
This simplified demo isolates one layout control instead of showing the whole panel at once.
Use it when you want to anchor the composition toward:
- the center
- an edge
- one side of the page or spread
The important part is what alignment does not do: it does not change photo order, and it does not crop or resize the photos. It changes placement.
In the current editor UI, alignment lives under the scale section, but the mental model is separate:
- gap changes the air between photos
- padding changes the border near the edge
- alignment changes where the whole block lands inside that padded area
